But Celtic started their qualification at the end of July.
A bit disappointed Gladbach is down 3-1 on away goals. I wanted to see them in the CL. Don't see them beating Dgnao Kyiv by 3 in Ukraine.  _________________

Udinese keeps getting knocked out ni the playoff round and causing Serie A's coefficient to freefall, lowering the teams Italy gets in the CL.
Edit: But it isn't just Udinese. Italy on the whole has been underwhelming in the CL as of late. _________________

And constantly selling off their best players every season making it difficult for them to compete in the tournament. But the club has to do what it has to do I guess. _________________

Its true, but not much Milan can do when they draw Barca every year. And Juve will hopefully put in a good shift this term _________________

So disappointed in Gladbach, to have the lead and then let in three at home is a huge letdown. Very improbable that they can advance now. _________________
